NOTE:CampbellCloud automatically adjusts data timestamps for daylight savings in applicable time zones.
• When clocks "fall back" one hour, timestamps for the repeated hour will appear twice.
• When clocks "spring forward" one hour, timestamps will skip the hour that is lost.
These adjustments align with the daylight savings rules of the selected time zone. If your time zone is set to Etc/UTC, no adjustments will be made since UTC does not observe daylight savings.
